Bucky McCrae won't take nonsense from anyone. Not her dad, friendly, charming, and a little bit short on ambition, running his law practice out of the back of a bowling alley in the rural northwest. Not poor Evil Patten (named, with bad spelling, after Evel Knievel) who just wants to be Bucky's boyfriend and get through the summer without an accident at his construction job.

Not even a stone cold killer who has Bucky in his sights.
